The Urologic Diseases in America project used data from numerous public and private databases to provide a summary of the current burden of urologic diseases in the United States. This chapter summarizes the data for prostatitis. The analyses used ICD-9 codes to identify diseases, so the data in the chapter include all types of prostatitis, not just CP/CPPS.
